Pete Bridgwood is a fine-art landscape photographer from Nottingham. Many examples of his work have featured in national photography magazines and in the Sunday Times, he has had images exhibited in national exhibitions at the Camera Club in London and at the National Theatre on London’s Southbank. Pete writes a monthly column in Outdoor Photography magazine."I have an obsession, an obsession with creating beautiful
imagery. Like all photographers I want to share my obsession and display my
imagery to an audience, in the hope that my images will stimulate reflection,
appreciation, inspiration and most of all enjoyment.
As a digital artist, digital manipulation of my images is a vital part of their
creation, I use the creative process (both at the capture stage and in
post-processing) to subtly enhance the 'atmosphere' and 'soul' of a scene rather
than to corrupt or debase it. The enduring lure of landscape photography is
perpetuated for me, by emotional transference. The seemingly impossible
challenge of encapsulating the emotion surrounding a special moment in time and
successfully transferring all that emotion through to the viewer of the final
exhibited print.
In selecting images for Masters of Vision, I have chosen those representations
of reality which I feel most successfully transfer the feelings and emotions I
felt personally when I was in the midst of these spectacular scenes".
